DanceMotion USA 2013 in Review:Hubbard Street Dance Chicago

by Sophie Shackleton

Since 2010, BAM has produced DanceMotion USA,
a program funded by the US Department of State to promote diplomacy and
cultural exchange through dance. This year, we sent four
contemporary American dance companies to represent the United States on
artistic missions in four regions around the world. Using dance as a
language, they forged lifelong connections—both artistically and
personally—with the artists and audiences they met during their travels.

The dancers were our eyes and ears on tour, sharing videos,
photos, and blog posts as they traveled. We are
featuring highlights from each of the four companies’ journeys here on the
BAM blog.
